The trim switch on my motor is not working. The trim on my console only trims the motor in the "up" position, while the "dowm" does not work at all. If i want the motor to go down, i have to use a screw driver and do it manually. The hydraulic swsten has fluid, so i'm assuming the problem is in a relay.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Are relays difficult to replace?

Thanks

Mike

On my old Yamaha 90, I had to replace the switch on the motor as the motor only went up and not down. I guess over time, the connections inside the switch go bad.
